I have played the full game, Just as Junior did



I didn't see it on your played games list



I was waiting to hear that...was going to address it the first time I said anything, but figured I'd save everyone the useless details unless someone called BS on me.

My neighbor used to work at a PC game company. He still has connections there and they hook him up with PC games early as well as the occasional 360/PS3 game. Batman AA happens to be one they let him get his hands on. The only stipulation...don't play on live or on a gamertag that will later go on live if it's before release date. His buddy who is still there isn't supposed to loan out the games to anyone. He still sneaks them to him now and then, just asks that he follow that one stipulation.

Far fetched? Yeah. Would I believe me? No, I honestly wouldn't. Take it for what it's worth. I've played it and don't like it. I don't get my jollies off of claiming to have a game early. He gets them very infrequently, I haven't played a 360 game early with him since Halo 3. It's usually just PC games which I have no interest in.

I didn't really like the demo for this, slow combat/ gameplay.



Exactly why I don't like this game, just too slow for me. I can't stand RPG's, stealth games, etc. Just too slow for me. I even dislike Gears because it borders on too slow as well.

LOL, Every time he gets a 360 game I tell him he's useless since it's so infrequent and I'd have better luck sweet talking the gay guy at gamestop to get games early.

Let me explain this..haha

People that work for gamestop...or blockbuster, stores like that. They get games a week or so before the actual release date, they play the game (or watch the movie, whatever the case may be) So that when the product goes on shelves for everybody, they can tell the customer the pro's/con's of the game/movie....They test out the product before anyone so they can tell people what is worth getting and whatever.

Some people know people that work at these stores, and they sometimes reap the benefits as well.

We all on the same page? :)






LOL...i work at a EB....and i WISH this was true.

Gears? Too slow? Let me leave this one alone so no argument gets started. Great game though.

I'm stating my opinion...it was too slow FOR ME. Just pointing out why I didn't like Batman AA or others that are too slow FOR ME.

In Gears the issue was the player movement...the actual player movement is too slow. I know he has lots of gear on, but the guy moves like he has 2 gimp legs. Just not the game FOR ME.

I know, your right, thats your opinion. I was just shocked to hear it. I've never heard anyone refer to gears as slow. But I can understand what your saying. Like I said before, us southern boys like everything fast!!!!

So you guys are saying the game is a little too much stop and go. I could see that, but isn't that the point of a stealth game? Where gears isn't a stealth game?

Whether or not it is the point of the game to be stop and go doesn't matter to me... I didn't like it.
